Post - 2015 Education MDGs

This report has been prepared by the Results for Development Institute (R4D) with the purpose of reviewing and contributing to the evidence base concerning progress on the education Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and Education for All Goals (EFA) to 2015 and beyond. For this purpose, the evidence base comprises experience with the MDGs to date, current debates and policy developments, the aim of a post-2015 global agreement similar to the MDGs, how a global agreement might add value to national efforts, and the type of agreement that might be made, including targets and indicators. This paper on the education MDGs and EFA goals is complemented by similar work on the health MDGs. The authors and Results for Development Institute are grateful to the Overseas Development Institute (ODI) for subcontracting this research.
